During her morning press conference, she emphasized that decisions about candidates belong solely to the party and declined to comment on individual aspirations.  <\/p>\n<p>Sheinbaum highlighted that Morena will be responsible for setting its own internal selection mechanisms, issuing the official call for candidates, and defining the criteria for those seeking to represent the party in the 2027 elections. \u201cI understand Morena will release its call so that surveys can be conducted and registrations made,\u201d she said.  <\/p>\n<p>This statement clearly separates the federal government\u2019s role from party decisions, underscoring respect for Morena\u2019s internal processes. The president noted that any potential participation by Inzunza must be evaluated according to Morena\u2019s established rules, including candidate requirements and background checks.  <\/p>\n<p>As the 2027 electoral cycle gains momentum, the gubernatorial race in Sinaloa is expected to attract increasing political attention. Enrique Inzunza remains among the names mentioned in the state\u2019s political landscape, but formal candidacy will depend on Morena\u2019s official call and internal procedures.  <\/p>\n<p>For migrants and politically engaged Millennials following Mexican politics from abroad or within Mexico, this approach signals Morena\u2019s commitment to democratic processes within the party, even as key local races begin to take shape. Staying informed about these developments will be crucial as the party navigates candidate selection ahead of next year\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed questions about a possible candidacy of Senator Enrique Inzunza C\u00e1zarez for the governorship of Sinaloa under Morena.
